This describes current behavior because there are no resctrl
files in base that are specific to monitoring, mon_hw_id is the
first.
This does not mean that the new file mon_hw_id should just have
RFTYPE_BASE because that would result in mon_hw_id being created
for all control groups, even those that do not support monitoring
Having mon_hw_id in resctrl for a group that does not support
monitoring is not correct.
You should be able to reproduce this when booting your system
with rdt=!cmt,!mbmlocal,!mbmtotal.

Yes, this change does not just involve assigning the RFTYPE_MON
to mon_hw_id. As you describe mkdir_rdt_prepare() does not take
RFTYPE_MON into account when creating the files. Could this not just
be a straightforward change to have it append RFTYPE_MON to the flags
of files needing to be created for a CTRL_MON group? This would
support new resource groups and then the default resource group
would need to be taken into account also. What am I missing?
